Toughest Place To Be A Bus Driver - Manila

i have watched that program and it touches my heart indeed.. but the thing is things could be better or worst anyway

I agree we are not poor like other countries http://www.hottnez.com/the-10-poorest-countries-of-the-world/ and we are not rich like UK and America so we might smack in the middle. Our GDP will show where we are and it's obvious that we still have loads of poor people for obvious reasons. Our corrupt officials, our population, our huge national debt and people themselves who are lazy in cultivating the lands in the provinces and prefer to take the risk in populated Manila. There's no hunger in our country if they can do planting and fishing as we are rich in natural resources and we are surrounded with water. I can say I'm lucky for having farmer dad who taught us planting, poultry keeping and thru that, we never feel hungry at all.

There are also poor people in rich countries but they are just lucky of having good system for the poor. Even rich country like America is also in huge debt with China.

I've been in that place (San Andres Bukid) where the driver lives and seen the concrete houses owned by the squatters. In the place where my friends lives, I have noticed their underground water and electric connections. They are not paying bills and have free healthcare from the city government. They're staying there for ages and they are the so called professional squatters. Life is hard but still can send their kids to uni. But there are loads of unlucky people from provinces who take the risks and prefer to live in slums when they failed.

I just wish that someday, we can still recover. We were second to Japan after the 2nd World War and still hoping to recover.
